Manchester United have reportedly been told to pay £85m to complete the transfer of Leicester City defender Harry Maguire.
The Red Devils have been strongly linked with a move for the England international over the past year, though this summer the club does seem a lot more serious about striking a deal with The Foxes.
A centre-back signing should be seen as a priority and Maguire is better than all of the defenders who are currently at the club.

Last season United slumped down to sixth after some shocking form.
It doesn’t help when your defence ends up conceding 54 league goals – the most ever conceded by United in a single Premier League campaign.
But Maguire is overpriced with an £85m price tag, as reported by The Sun, and a possible swap including Argentina international Marcos Rojo has also been dismissed.
The report claims United have a clear run at the 26-year-old, despite claims Man City were interested.
While this could spend the end of the Chucke Brothers in defence, I do feel United are getting bad value for their money. They could identify better defenders for cheaper if they looked hard enough.
